Title: Wasn't that Alex Jones calling in to May 23rd show?
Post by: lspooner on May 24, 2009, 10:45:16 AM

Alex from Texas called in to May 23rd's show at about 45:40.  I'm pretty sure it was Alex Jones.

I'm 99 and  44/100% sure that was him.  It wasn't just his voice but the content of his comments.  Plus he plugged a radio station.  Only a radio guy would do that.

Wow, yeah, if that's not him it's gotta be a deliberate impersonation, and a darn good one...  (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-confused004.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org)

again...

I have personally witnessed/heard/seen AJ impersonator(s) and some of them are 99.98 percent indistinguishable from the original...in voice AND content...

I'm very excited by this.  I used to be a big-time Alex Jones fan, and I still have a lot of respect for him, in spite of the bullshit he sometimes pedals.  Like my sig on the JREF forum (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=23386) says,

"Conspiracy theories are a mental illness that people experience when they sense the evil of the government they've been brainwashed to love, so they project this evil onto someone or something else."

Helping those people see that government (all government) is the problem is the cure.

It was Alex Jones.  I was listening online and after they cut for commercial the board op/call screener messed up and put the line  between him and Ian live.   He said, "I have Alex Jones on the line with a comment about WWII.  He wants to be ananimous, do you want to take it?"

When they came back, he was announced as "Alex in Tennesee driving along and listening."

Before AJ hung up, he plugged a radio station "down here in Austin". 

Why the annonimity and the deception? :(

Here's what I seem to recall of that call:
Did he or did he not claim that the U.S. Government was working on the Atomic Bomb 18 months before they declared war on Japan?
If so, that is contradicted by this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project

Quote

A British committee, the MAUD Committee, concluded that an atomic bomb was "not only feasible, it was inevitable." Their reports were sent to Briggs, but were ignored. One of the members of the MAUD Committee, Mark Oliphant, flew to the United States in late August 1941 to find out why the U.S. was ignoring the MAUD Committee's findings.

I have paid some attention to this part of history through the years because my father was General Groves's Aide until Groves went to the Manhattan Project... and my middle name is the same as Einstein's son's name, with the unusual spelling.

Um, several Wikipedia articles (Manhattan Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project), Nukes and U.S. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_the_United_States), etc) state that the U.S. nuclear research was started in 1939, specifically on October 21st.  U.S. didn't officially declare war on Japan until December 8th, 1941 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infamy_Speech).  I guess it was just a disagreement over the degree of commitment.

He was announced as "Alex in Texas", actually.  No deception there.

I don't listen to him anymore, but I downloaded a few shows (http://tracker.conspiracycentral.net/torrents.php?cat=47) after he called FTL out of curiosity, and heard him bashing some "local" talk shows for making fun of conspiracy theorists.

I wonder what he thinks of FTL...

This...GCN helps their own.  There is money in each taking shots at one another just like there is money in O'Reily and Oberman exchanging barbs.

I just listened to this show and I'm pretty sure it was Alex.  A few minutes later a caller even calls in asks "Do you know who that caller Alex was?" and Ian says that sounded like Alex Jones to me.  By the way, it was a pretty interesting show.  A total pro-war psycho calls in and SCREAMS INTO THE PHONE around 1:05 and is pretty clueless about history and war and 9/11.  I think the Saturday shows are my favorite as it gets most of the right wing conservatives that are on a lot of the Rush Limbaugh AM stations calling in.

He said "Hey, you guys have a great show.  We enjoy having it on [radio station]" at the end of the call.

Yeah, but I wouldn't trust anything sourced to Alex Jones...   :lol:

It's not that big of a deal that he happened to call in one time.  It's just that there's no sense in wasting opportunities to build bridges.

There are two types of radio shows in the world - ones that have been touched by greatness, and those that haven't.  FTL can now claim that distinction.  It's like when the Pope blesses something - one touch and it is blessed forever.  Except Alex Jones is far mightier than the Pope, of course.  Only Alexander The Great of ancient Macedonia can compare to his greatness, and there's a good chance that Alex Jones is his reincarnation.  Either him, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, or Newton.  But most likely all of the above combined.  In fact, 5000 years from now, FTL will only be remembered as "that otherwise noteunworthy little show that, in the year of our lord, 0036 AAJ, on the 23rd day of the month of Russo, was blessed by His Holy Light for 10 glorious minutes, may His Glory enlighten the universe for all time, Amin!"

An interesting thread to bump considering all of the drama between Jones and the local Austin activists, most notably Jack Blood.

For those who don't know, Jack Blood was Alex's right hand man for a few years.  Two days ago Jack finally broke his silence about his work with Alex, and the multiple shady things hes done (allowing his name to be forged on collectors edition DVDs, going to strip clubs as a married man, getting piss drunk and threatening to beat people up, etc) because Jones went after Debra Medina, who Blood is friends with.

Here is the podcast: http://www.americanfreedomradio.com/archive/Jack-Blood-32k-022410.mp3

I don't know about the "right hand man" part, but Blood often hosted Alex's show when Alex was unavailable.. as recently as 2009.  I don't know how credible or honest Blood is, but that was very interesting to hear him speak out.  Now Mike Hanson is a guy who WAS Alex's right hand man for several years, worked with Alex, and in fact filmed much (most?) of his early videos, and he is never spoken of anymore.  I think they had a falling out as well, but I don't know the details.  I don't know what to think about all this b/c Alex does sound somewhat humble, admits his faults often, etc. but he also does seem to have a huge ego and probably a control freak.  I like him as a rabblerouser though but his schtick does get old sometimes.  Sure, the gov't lied about 9/11, but that was almost a decade ago, and they've done plenty more evil since then.
